Her parents were Josioh R. and Rose E. Carrell Sherman. In 1891 a heavy rain and flash flood came up in the middle of the night. The Sherman house was sod with a frame second story where the family took refuge. As the water rose even higher, their father chopped a hole in the roof and the family crawled out on the roof. When the sod house broke up, the parents and four children floated on the house top for about 6 miles, from midnight until 10:00 a.m. They were rescued by a farmer riding his team of horses out into the water. Nothing remained of the home site except a broken off post. Her father, Joe Sherman, made the "run" at the opening of the Indian Territory, which later became the state of Oklahoma. The family homesteaded near Chester, moving there when Mabel was very young. She received her schooling in that state, where she resided until the time of her marriage to Frank Hand on November 14, 1906 at Woodward, Oklahoma. They immediately came to Nebraska and settled at Hazard where Raymond, Victor and Russell were born. After living in the Round Grove community near Mason City, the family moved south of Pleasanton where Berle was born. The boys attended school at Peake District #32. Three of the boys attended Pleasanton High School. She was a charter member of the Rusco Extension club and a member of the Royal Neighbors. Frank and Mabel retired in 1946 and moved into Pleasanton. Her parents and one sister preceded her in death. Surviving are her husband, Frank Hand, four sons, Raymond and Victor of Pleasanton, Russell of Riverdale and Beryle of Rockford, Illinois. Nine grandchildren, two sister, Mrs. Flo Patton of Waynoka, Okla., Mrs. Melba Harder of Enid, Oklahoma, a step-mother, Mrs. Louise Newton of Fairview, Okla., other relatives and a host of neighbors and friends.
